The EHRC’S new code has been published. We’ll have a detailed analysis out shortly.
The guidance has been toned down from the previous draft – but it still treats trans people like they’re a third sex. This pushes trans people out of public life and violates their human rights.
I've seen posts saying that Hannah Spencer wasted her question on something petty.
MPs drinking at a subsidised bar at work is completely revelant. It's about different rules for the elite. It's about people needing food banks while MPs get discounted alcohol. It's wrong.
And no, in the UK, a male has never been prosecuted simply for being present in a female toilet if no other offence took place.
The reason for this is fundamental to UK law: there is no criminal offence of using or entering the "wrong" toilet.
Net migration to the UK has fallen by nearly 50%.
This has not made and will not make a single bit of positive difference to people’s lives. Because the problem was never immigration - it was 40 years of Thatcherism.
So rather than endlessly blame scapegoats, why don’t we cut to the chase and put everything we have into fixing the real structural causes behind soaring bills and rents, stagnant wages, and the fact that public services are on their knees?
Otherwise, we’ll keep paving the way for Reform and reach the end of this Parliament having run out of people to blame and with nothing to show for it.
people mentioning its segregation are correct but also need to mention that forcing trans students to go outside in outdoor toilets gives a straight pathway to getting raped and murdered by people who associate everyone who goes in there with being trans
We are such a miserable fucking nation. Let kids have free travel during the holidays to see their mates, go into town, go swimming, cinema etc.
Our taxes also pay for pensioners to keep warm, shall we stop that as well?
only black kid in honors class and my math teacher straight up marked 18 of my assignments missing so that i would fail the class. my dad went up to the school to cuss her out and she "found" all 18 assignments within 5 minutes of the confrontation. D- to A.
Imagine how far trans rights and healthcare would've advanced in these past decades if ultra conservatives wouldn't pump so much money into anti-trans propaganda and legislation..
It's so incredibly exhausting to see how we are forced to fight the same fight over and over again
She lives in Norway, celebrates Norway, dress in our national clothes, fights for Norway in the Olympics, she is norwegian. Proud to have her. Get your racist ass out of our affairs.

If there were a clip to highlight the disfunctionality of parliament it’s a working class woman proposing MPs shouldn’t be allowed to drink subsidised booze on the job followed by said MPs jeering her and the PM completely avoiding the question.
Clear the lot out.
While it appears that the government has successfully pushed back on some particularly harmful elements in the previous draft, the new Code of Practice will still lead to the exclusion of trans people from services and facilities that they have used without issue for a very long time.
This will do nothing to improve women’s lives and the many struggles we face, but it will put trans people (and anyone perceived as trans) at increased risk of discrimination, harassment and violence. The Code unfortunately still represents the culmination of years of anti-trans campaigning from a small, well-funded minority who have had outsized influence in the media and in politics, and have weaponised the courts for their own ends.
The legal situation for trans people is now deeply incoherent and means that it is untenable for them to be able live their lives with dignity. This is completely out of line with the values of equality that a Labour government is meant to champion. Instead of making this Code statutory, the government should be legislating to clarify and protect trans people’s rights, privacy and inclusion.
